Robert
Kaindl
a plus scratch player at
his home course in King
County, of Washington
State within the USA.
He logged his first year
as a playing
professional golfer in
1997.

Robert's
6'5" frame and
weighing in at a fit 255
pounds Smashed
Golf's World's Longest
Driving Distance Record.
This single, father of
two has also built one
of his region's most
successful contracting
businesses.
He learned to fly at the
age of 12 when he had
the distinction of being
the nation's youngest
student pilot, followed
by being the youngest
licensed fixed wing and
turbine helicopter pilot
as well. He also was an
NBA scrimmage
player in 1981 and 1982
even though he never
started playing
basketball until the age
of 20. In the early
80’s Robert also
owned, produced and
conducted vacationally
oriented seminars on
“Zippity Zoom”, his
82’ Columbia sailboat
to conduct Promotional
Public Speaking
engagements on
Motivation, Productivity
and Business Theory.
Running a business,
giving speeches, flying
and being a NBA
scrimmage player would
be enough of a challenge
for most of us.
Robert was seeking his
next challenge and not
surprisingly, golf
beckoned.

Robert
began playing golf
late1995 at the age of
36, as a 12 handicapper.
His first game was a
fluke 82. Golf was
frustrating, loved it,
hated it, but knew it
presented and created
individual pressure that
he sought. From
the beginning, he could
naturally drive the ball
unheard of (okay, unseen
and unforgettable)
distances, but he wanted
to play the game
inspiringly, not just
hit the ball out of
sight but hit it
straight down the
fairway and out of
sight. His handicap
dropped to the plus side
single digits and along
the way so did the World
Longest Driving Distance
Record that still stands
with his name today.

During
a golf tournament at
Coyote Lake Golf Course
near Phoenix Arizona,
Robert set the World’s
Longest Driving Distance
Record with a golf ball
with his 448-yard,
2-feet, 6-inch
blast carried and cut
the corner over the
water on the left side
of the tight 10th hole
476-yard par-5.
Yes, he drove the par 5.
There was no tail wind
and no elevation changes
assisting with this
undertaking. He
then made the four-foot
putt for his only Double
Eagle. Then he
followed with an Eagle
on the tight 11th hole,
a 337-yard par 4, then a
amazing Birdie on the
ensuing 12th hole
125-yard par 3, making
that 3 hole sequence an
extraordinary -6.
Robert said that his
swing was effortless and
he is continuously
trying to obviously
replicate that elusive
flawless swing that
produced that
inconceivable sequence
of events.

Golf
for Robert has become
more than just a
passion; it’s become a
serious pursuit. Now he
competes for the
significant prize money
offered in most tour
tournaments and long
driving competitions
along with the challenge
of playing the world's
best golfers and it’s
longest hitters.
Despite his limited golf
experience, with
Longdriving contest club
head speed exceeding 155
mph
he has fared well in
competition in
conjunction with being a
plus scratch player.
Robert stated that now
while playing tournament
golf his competition
distances are not as
extreme as once
experienced because
accuracy and repeated
risk rewards are
yielding to extreme
distances with distinct
inconsistencies.
In Longdriving events,
each competitor
generally gets 6 balls
of the same make to hit
in a 40-yard wide grid
and where the longest
hitter wins. Robert is
traveling extensively,
often servicing as his
own pilot to compete in
PGA Tour and Longdriving
golf events including
staging Longdrive
clinics and detailed
demonstrations.
His success has yielded
a number of high-end
sponsorships that keep
him active and in the
golfing circles today.
Keep your eyes and ears
open and maybe one day
you will experience the
attention that he
continually commands.
